if still you want to use socks, you can use sockscap for windows boxes to
socksify apps on the fly.
check out http://www.socks.nec.com/sockscap.html
if that doesn't suit - you could use a generic tcp proxy on the firewall.
e.g. the fwtk plug-gw will do the trick. it takes any tcp based
service from n hosts through the plug-gw to a destination host.
it has basic access control, runs from inetd & you can string multiple
plug-gw's together if you're trying to traverse multiple firewalls.

hope this helps,
pauline
